Unable to connect to Apache/2 from outside

Hello all,
I have installed Apache/2 on Mac OS X Tiger. It works without problems
on the machine it is running on. But computers other that this Mac are
unable to connect to it. Even other computers in the local network.

I have a ISP domainname "blabla.myisp.nl" that is linked to a fixed IP
address. Anyone typing "www.blabla.myisp.nl" would go to the website
hosted on the ISP server and anyone typing "blabla.myisp.nl" without
the "www" would go to the website on this Mac. This worked perfectly
with Apache 1.3. But with Apache/2 the local webserver the local
website is unreachable from the outside. The connection times out,
without any further messages. Same If I type in the IP address.

When I stop Apache/2 and start Apache1.3 it works again. I have been
comparing the config files of the two servers to find differences that
might give me a clue but I'm out of ideas.

Anyone have an idea what directive to look for or what else could be
the problem? Thanks in advance.

Leo

Look for any directives containing Allow or Deny in the conf file. Maybe
default or current settings only Allow from 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

Nope. That's not it. Both Apache/1.3 and Apache/2 have the same
DocumentRoot and the settings between <Directory /> and </Directory>
are identical. Thanks for giving it a thought though.
